Shot From the hip – 2008 Predictions

Facebook will fade and we will all wonder what the fuss was about (You took money from hedge fund, you dolts!)
Somebody new (not Microsoft, Google or Yahoo) will capture over 30% of the search market place (and it won’t be Mahalo, sorry Jason)
Apple will increase its market share of the PC/Media Centre market to 20% (thank you Vista)
Apple will release a version of iLife for the PC (Because twisting bills nuts is Steve’s favourite game)
The wholesale price of online virtual storage will drop below 5 euro cents a gigabyte a month (Just need one more big player alongside Amazon and Nirvanix to make it interesting)
Tape storage will make a big comeback (expect an Amazon style offering in this space, with an infrastructure play for all those social networks full of inactive replicants)
Video blogging will continue to not take off (apart from the self referencing circle jerks who will keep telling us video blogging is taking off)
I will be able to use my phone as a broadband connector for my PC over bluetooth (Finally, thanks for nothing Vodafone et al.)
Jabber, AIM and MSN will finally complete their instance messaging interoperability dance (And nobody will care)
Google will become a Network Operator
